tinue to accommodate their Gus
toners the same for years to come
as they have done in the past.

Boise experience, as there was one
little incident occurred which added
to his WEAKNESS: About an hour
before train time he was gathering
up his spoils preparatory to taking
the bus to the depot, when just as
he turned corner, he beheld the
bus disappearing up the street
"Great Scottl" he exclaimed, "are
these mossbacks so afraid that they
will miss the train that they go
to the depot an hour before start
ing tirhe" There remained moth
ing to do but to hoofit. So arrang-
ing his bundles in "Jew pack" he
started for civilization. will not

walk down the boulevard, the be-,

the driver of the returning stage
smiled derisively at him-nor

he cantered up the beautiful ter
race(?), his pack looming up like the
hump" on dromedary, nor even
the playful manner in which he
gamboled along in the dust at the
top-he arrived at the depot. No
train sight. He entered and sat
down and unused for half an hour
on mossbackism, when his revere
was broken by commotion out
doors and he rushed out to find a
fresh arrival of passengers-the
bus made two trips.

is indeed encouraging. For the
first attempt, beset as it was by
many difficulties and a tremendous
opposition, it was not expected by
the management of the association
to be able to meet all its obliga-
tons without heavy assessment
on the stockholders. They had
made arrangements, however, to
raise the deficiency, should there be
one, by assessments, so the enter
prise was carried ON upon sound
basis. Some little money may yet
have to be raised, but it will be so
little compared with what they
had figured on, that the incorpora-
tors are more than satisfied. The
only way to account for the unex-
pected interest the farmers and
stockmen took in the affair, is the
fact that it was purely a stock and
agricultural fair-no racing being
connected with the fair whatever.

Con the other hand the Jockey
Club, holding their races as they
did at the same time within aquarter
of mile of the fair ground, gave
all lovers of that exciting sport
ample opportunity to enjoy it.
While they were under different
arrangements and each indepen-
dent of the other, still their close
proximity struck happy combin-
alton that knocked all former
efforts at holding fair in this
county into a state of 'innocuous
desuetude.' "

The State OF South Carolina has spent an
immense amount of money to build or open
the columbia Ditch" which from courtesy is
called q canal. This large expenditure OF
moRey. it is alleged by the friends OF the en-
terprise, was primarily for the benefit of the
State, with the understanding that the city OF
Columbia might get the incidental advan-
tages.
Now, we want to see If these columbia
Ditchers" are consistent in their desire to ben.
eft the State.
It is conceded thnt the Georgia, Carroll
no and Northern Railroad, (of which the
Chester, Greenwood and Abbeville Railroad
is parD is fixed fact, and that in less than
three years from to-day that line will be an
accomplished fact. If our hopes should
end In fruition. the road will pass the famous
Trotter's shoals on Savannah River, where
there Is hundred feet of fall, and where
there Is an inexhausiible supply oi
water. Solid embankments OF rocks, and sol
i'd river bottoms Of the same are there to be
found. Compared with the Columbia Ditch
the cost Of developing the water power would
be trife.
Will those who have spent so much in Col
umbia for the State, now be willing to spend
little In Aobevlle county. where infinitely
greater benefits would follow.
On the river where the road will cross there
is an inexhaustible supply of granite. a never
falling stream. and a hundred feet OF fa
from first to last. For little expense all this
water power could be made ready for profita
BILE service.

MIR. AND MRS. A. W. SMITH.
Their Return to Abbeville.-.Thc Ele.

In Honor Of Their Marriage.

AS we have hereinbefore published. Mr., Au-

Plnkie Noble. of San Francisco, were married
In that city on January S. 1887: The bride and
groom rcturneb by way of Winnsboro and

Wednesday evening Of last week.
A most elegant reception was given from
one o'clock until four o'clock Of the following
day, at the mansion OF Mrs. S. NJ. w. Smith,
the mother OF the groom. Very many of the
citizens of the village called to pay their re-
spects. and 10 extend good wishes to the new
~ married people. TO show In what esteem
the bride is held we cannot do better than to
repeat what at least one good lady said IN con-
graduating the bride: The people of Abbe'
Vile owe Mr. Smith debt of gratitude for
bringing her back" Abberile IS the home Of
her nativity, but she had been living in San

THE c., G. & A. RAILROAD.
An Appeal to the Voters of Green
wood Which Should be Needed,

The more we find out about the Chester,
Greenwood and Abbeville Railroad, lately
metamorphosed into the Georgia, Carolina
and Northern Railroad, the more we are graf
itied with the requirements required of us 10
aid in It's construction.
Gen. r. F. Hoke, tho president OF the new
organization. informed us last week that the
bonds To he subscribed by Greenwood Town
ship would not be required ordemanded until
ance, made by an open faced and honorable
gentleman, was given In the presence or
many witnesses. 1t amounts TO the announce
ment that the township will be virtually ex-
empt from payingany taxes for interest on Its
bonds 1t Is equivalent to the assertion that
the railroad which Will tie built In two years.
will be relieved Of State and county taxation
TO the extent Of ten hundred and eighty dol
lars each year for twenty years. Being thus
exempt from partial taxation, it may pay
dividend on the stock OF eighteen thousand

roads or apply the proceeds to schools or 9TH
er purposes.
Thus all parties will be mutually benefited.
The railroad OF part of its taxation. The State
will receive taxation on part Of properly not

A PIea for MARRIAGE Licenses.

Why 1t is that the South Carolina Legisla-
ture refuses to pass a marriage license law, Is
beyond the comprehension of anyone. You
cannot meet one Intelligent man in twenty
who will deny the necessity OF such law,
and yet when the assembled wisdom of the
State gets together In Columbia, they laugh at
any man who proposes such a thing. There
is q case now pending In our court that shows
the necessity of such law. In 1861 a trans
fer Of land was made and about the same
time the man making the transfer was mar
ried. A third party bought the land after
wards. A claim Is now set up by the widow
for dover. The whole matter depends upon
the date Of her marriage. The preacher has
no record of it and witnesses to the ceremony
cannot testify to the day.-CTohha spartan.
The experience and observation of the Car
olina Spartan does not tally with that of tine
Press and Banner. We know Of almost no
one in Abbeville county who desires a "mar-
riage license law" While the Press and Bun
ner may no. come up to the standard of the
Spartan's idea of "intelligence,a y we are soidly'
first, last, and all the time, opposed to the
marriage license law" The subject was dis
cussed once In our Literary Club, and the al
most unanimous opinion Was against the law.
One members expression may serve for ali,
rs embodying what We would call the "intei-
ligent" sentiment of Abbeville. He said.
that there was no other spot of ground on
the American Contint mt where the honor OF
woman is so carefully guarded as in South
Carolina. A simple acknowledgment of a
woman rs ones wife made her so in law and
in morals. 1t was easier to get married here
than anywhere else, and the knot once tied,
was tied forever. Not so In other States of
the Union. Licenses were required, and easy
divorces were granted. Scotland is the only
place in the world where woman receives any
thing like the protection she receives in South
Carolina. In Scotland many man Is mar
ried who does not aim to be. In England,
the laws are SO intricate, that many woman
who has had the ceremony performed in due
Solemnity is not married because OF some le-
gal informality which the designing scoun-
dre practised on the confidipg woman.
Every legal impediment to marriage Is a
thrust at womans honor, and shield to de-
signing scoundrels. For the honor OF woman
we trust the lawmaking power of South Car
0lina may always give her, RS at present, the
greatest protection that is afforded to her on
any spot of ground on the face of the globe.

Sent without Charge.

Our excellent neighbor the Nerbe,1y Herald
and Ne,cs has been sending paper to one OF
the officers In Columbia. without charge
When the Herald end Ne,os criticised that Of
ficer in a way which was not to the liking oi
the recipient. he stopped taking the paper
from the post office. If the Herald AMI Ne'cs
had done as the Press and Banner does, re
quire public officials, like other people, to pay
Tor the paper. if they take it, the paper would
have been taken from the post office, or II
would never have been sent from the print
Ing office. The admission of the Herald and
Ne,cs, and the publication of the recent report
Of the Lunatic Asylum, go to show that many
prin tiers throw away their work. We would
see the Asylum and every official In Columbia
in Guinea before they shall receive the Press
and Banner without, at least the hope on our
part, OF payment for the same. No public Of
fetal from Cleveland down, and no public In
stitution OF any kind whatsoever shall receive
the Press and Banner without the money. We
don't print the paper for any little fun there
may be In 1t, and only those who think 1t
worth paying for have their names enrolled
or our books. Such institutions as Reading
Rooms, Christian Associations, Hotels, and
Lunatic Asyiums are carefully excluded from
the free reading Of our paper. The Abbeville
Literary Club, Of which the editor of the Press
and Panner is a member, has been In exist
ehce for perhaps ten years, and that club has
not, in that time so far as ": are informed,
begged any editor for free copy Of his publ.
cation. Our club pays for what 1t wants, and
so far as the Press and Banner is concerned,
other clubs must do the same. They cannot
have their names enrolled Us dead BEATS at
our Office.
In like manner, we refuse free advertise
ments OF colleges. The colleges of our county
pay regular rates, and other colleges will find
1t difficult to beat us out Of an advertisement.
Although the Press and Banner has been, In
the years that are past, a steadfast friend to
the South Carolina College, the officers of that
institution, some time ago, tried to beat US out
OF an advertisement, but they failed most sig
nally. It takes strong language to express
our opinion of "dead BEATS" who may think
their official rank or social standing enough
to entitle them to the property and labor of
others, without pay.
